A Man in His Time

John Louis Spivak

4.9/5 (32542 ratings)

Description:In 1967 he published his autobiography, A Man in His Time, which covered his life up to 1939. Reviewing it for the New York Times, veteran liberal journalist Gerald W. Johnson wrote that Spivak's style of journalism, committed to "the exposure of villains" & "dramatic intensity," produces in the end "a distinct aura of mythology." Citing Spivak's account of the Liberty League's conspiracy to depose Roosevelt, Johnson acknowledged a certain basis in reality but called Spivak's account "pretty farfetched." Johnson praised Spivak's enduring optimism & skills as a writer: "As a pictorial writer, he is deft, evoking with a line or two a picture that a less competent hand would take a page to limn." He described the work's content, however, as "a series of impressions of an observer, highly skillful, but highly unscientific....It needs to be balanced & corrected by the work of historians trained in a more rigorous professional discipline."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
